Reoccuring Nightmare that is confusing for me.
Hi all, I hope that someone will be able to help me understand and interpret this dream that I have every single night and have for maybe around two months if not more. My memory of it is foggy even after I just wake up but I'll try to give as much detail as possible. To begin with I think I should mention, I have Borderline personality disorder, depression and CPTSD so that may effect my dreams I'm not sure?? Firstly I am not scared as such in these nightmares, I feel anxious mostly. The dream doen't really have a beginning as such, it throws me into the deep end right away. I have to collect something sometimes it is a gem or a book or even those small bean bags you kick around, every time I have that dream the object I need to collect changes but the rest of it remains the same. If I don't collect these things that I am being forced to collect I will be murdered by a woman with black hair. She is the same in every dream but I have no clue who she is, I have never seen or met her before. She is just intent on killing me and usually it's pretty violent, sometimes I get devoured alive by bugs, sometimes I get dismembered, the way I die sometimes remains the same through out the dreams but it changes every now and then. She always emphasizes that I didn't do what I was told to do and so I have to be killed. When I am able to wake myself up out of the dream I am very confused and I start to see things from my dream in reality and wake up finding myself trying to look for what ever I was supposed to find in the dream, obviously never finding it. Usually when I wake up is see this sort of constellation like structure this this black mist stuff trying to consume me that I physically fight off when I wake even though it's not actually there. I sometimes scream in my sleep because of it or wake up crying even though I'm not afraid. I'm not scared of dying or being murdered it's more the the anxiety of not being able to find the thing I'm supposed to find. The settlings of my dreams always occur in one of two places, my actual bedroom or in a big green field. There's never been anything else. I am hoping that someone will have some insight as to what this dream is about and why I have been dreaming it for as long as I have every night. Thank you so much
